Categories - worst idea ever.
What's better:
int a; // this is size
OR
int size;
Same thing applies here - code MUST be self documenting as much
as possible.
But categories are still useful, e.g., when you want a function
in std.algorithm that looks for a specific element. It could be
"search" or "find" or "firstElemSatisfyingCondition", and even
though those are all self documenting, it would be a pain to look
through the list of functions in alphabetical order. The use of
categories narrows your search for the function down 20%.
